Israeli writer Ravit Hecht said that the march of crazy flags carried out by Jewish extremists on Sunday in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem threatens to cause an imminent war, stressing that this is an indication of religious Zionism's celebration of its racism.
In her article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, she asked, "Why are adults in Israel focusing on the flags?", noting at first that in recent years they have been passing through the Old City and knocking on closed Arab storefronts, and they did so with shouting and whistling.
The writer pointed out that this week, the Palestinian students organized in the Green Line at Ben-Gurion University a demonstration to commemorate the Nakba Day, and the Israelis were stunned when these students raised the Palestinian flags and waved them in a movement that was interpreted as a challenge to Israel. from other universities in what is known as "Earth Day".
The writer noted the existence of obsession among the Israeli government, the Knesset and civil society regarding the use of flags and what they symbolize of national fanaticism, warning of the dire consequences of such an approach.
She stressed that the pathological obsession with the flags that has spread recently is one of the symptoms of a serious childhood illness, and the bloodshed will not stop here until it is treated, "when the flag does not symbolize partnership and kinship but rather defiance and hostility, it turns into a dangerous indicator of a bloody war lurking in the corner." , as she put it.
Hecht explained that people who carry a lot of meaning and empathy lack confidence in themselves and even in the right way to lead their lives, so they are very dangerous people, she said.
The writer concluded by saying that the Jews who make their love for Israel conditional on their knowledge, as well as the people who were fascinated by the Palestinian flag and encouraged the Palestinians to wave it, all of these and those are stuck in a world approaching fascism, because wherever they see the flags, they block them from seeing people, she said.
